Indiana Dunes Find Your Own Pace Hike

About this event

This is 11am ET, 10am CDT

This will be held jointly with Michiana Adventures https://www.meetup.com/meetup-group-yjezdrty/events/316312637/?utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=share-btn_savedevents_share_modal&utm_source=link&utm_version=v2&member_id=246415196

We can meet at the nature center parking lot. Go through entrance and take the nature center exit at the roundabout.

There will be 2 options

Option 1 is an 8 mile hike at a good pace around 3 miles an hour. We will start on trail 8 down to the beach and take trail 9 back to the nature center. There are challenging inclines on this path.

Option 2 is an easy hike through the wetlands, this is a 5 mile hike. The wetlands are around 3 miles and the hike to and from is another 2 miles. This will be a moderate pace with no major inclines.

If you have an Indiana State Park Pass, this works here. If not, it’s $7 for in-state parking I believe.

Please keep your rsvp updated. Be mindful of your own fitness level, option 1 will challenge your fitness level.

Those who want to go out to eat after, check out the restaurants in the area and see what sounds good. Mention it when we get there.

Give a shout in the comments which hike you are planning on, I’m planning on option 2 through the wetlands 😊 Jonathan will be leading the 8 mile hike 😊
